About Me

Hi! I'm Kara. A few years ago I left my career to stay home with my son, Brady. I just couldn't bear to be away from him all day. I wanted to be there to share all of his firsts along with teach him all of those very first lessons. I now have a little girl too, Mikaylee. They definitely give me a run for my money, but I can't imagine not being here with them every day.

I have always thought of myself as a bargain hunter...I mean I would always look for a sale and here and there use a coupon if it was for an item that I regularly used. About a year ago, a family member introduced me to a coupon blog...this was the first blog I ever read! I was instantly hooked! After learning all things couponing, I was ready to try it out. It was real!! These ladies that I would see on the news weren't lying...they really were paying only $0.89 for a cart full of groceries! I believed it now because I too was one of those ladies!

I can't begin to tell you the amount of money my family has saved. We've saved on food, diapers, clothing, all types of gifts, printer ink, tons of household items...you name it and I've probably had a deal for it along the way.

Couponing is also where I was introduced to Uppercase Living. I saw a giveaway on a blog for Christmas expressions by a girl who turned out to be my upline :) I loved the incredibly affordable products and had to become a demonstrator!

It wasn't long before friends and family, along with total strangers behind me waiting to check out, were asking me how in the world I was saving so much money. I was so excited to share my new-found couponing knowledge along with Uppercase Living expressions and my custom gifts that here we are...Saving by Design.
